The One

	  		
Intro: D A (x2) 

verse 1 

D                            A 
I know you've let me down before 
D                        A 
It's just never hurt this way 
D                        A 
I've seen your face, I've seen the scars behind your eyes 
D                    A 
I'm gonna ask you tonight 


Pre-Chorus 

G                         Bm 
  And if your answer is “no” 
A 
  A thousand memories walkin’ out that door 
G                                    Bm 
  You'll leave this place far and behind 
A 
  A second chance won't cross your mind 

N.C.              G                    Bm 
I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where 
A 
   I'll never be the one, I'll never be  
                  G                    Bm 
I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where 
A 
   I'll never be the one, I'll never be 


verse 2 

D                          A 
And if you leave me far behind 
D                            A 
I'll see your arms and I will wait 
D                          A 
I feel the air, I feel your emptiness around me 
D                     A 
It just can't be too late 


Pre-Chorus 

G                         Bm 
  And if your answer is “no” 
A 
  A thousand memories walkin’ out that door 
G                                    Bm 
  You'll leave this place far and behind 
A 
  A second chance won't cross your mind 

N.C.              G                    Bm 
I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where 
A 
   I'll never be the one, I'll never be  
                  G                    Bm 
I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where 
A 
   I'll never be the one, I'll never be
